Transurban and Future Trends

Paul Rickard

Why would you recommend Transurban when driverless cars and ride sharing is very likely to decimate vehicle numbers over the next decade?

Twenty something’s who live mostly live around the inner city with great public transport will never buy a car and retirees will not want a 2nd car. And it’s odds on that the rest of us will dump our 2nd car. Driverless cars will pick up 4 people at a time where routes are similar and so will be very cheap. I’m 55 and can easily see myself using it . Even if car sales are maintained, individual car trips per person will clearly drop and reduce toll road turnover.

CBA and AUSTRAC Investigation

Paul Rickard

I set up my SMSF just recently in March and invested evenly across 8 portfolios, mainly Australian blue chip companies made up of Banking (CBA, NAB), Health (HSO), Resources BHP, WPL and WOW. I have also invested in two smaller speculative companies.

So to clarify – 2/8th of my portfolio is with CBA, and with AUSTRAC investigation and the current slump I am wondering if it would be better to cut my losses and pick up the stock again after AUSTRAC ruling?

Investing Globally

Paul Rickard

Many experts recommend our SMSFs should be invested globally. I am happy to do this, but is there an economic way to step into a “diversified portfolio”? Something that gives me overall diversification but with an aim of solid growth, something that we can trade into easily as I don’t use a broker, just CMC online.

 

Thank you
